i know at least some of us on here drink coffee i know we’re out there!!!!! rb if you want :-)

there is no way 7.6% of tumblr users use an espresso machine. unless that means they go to starbucks every morning

1) it is a possibility that 7.6% of tumblr users primarily receive coffee through café service

2) at least one of the 'espresso machine' respondents overlooked that a 'moka pot' is the name for a Bialetti or other stovetop espresso pot

If there’s a leftist video essay I really recommend watching, it’s this one by Notorious AAV about Indigeneity and Indigenous Liberation - it’s about an hour long but it’s great, especially if you aren’t indigenous and want to learn more about indigenous groups, settler states, and settler colonialism.

I’ll leave the link here: https://youtu.be/9H99j6wdxDI

Rep. Zooey Zephyr, the first transgender woman elected to Montana’s legislature, attended a Montana House of Representatives session to oppose an anti-transgender bill that would remove references to transgender individuals from more than 40 sections of state code. The bill, which would define sex in a way that excludes trans people, was one of over a dozen heard this year. The previous day, her strong speech against the gender affirming care ban the state had passed led to the Montana Freedom Caucus calling for her censure while intentionally and repeatedly misgendering her. When she punched in, they refused to recognize her to speak, and instead moved forward to pass the bill.

Tensions flared on the House Floor when the entire Democratic Caucus rose to demand that she be permitted to speak. In a strikingly undemocratic move, Republican House Speaker Regier declined to allow it, asserting that he could refuse to allow anyone to speak at his discretion. When Minority Leader Abbott objected, they moved to a packed rules committee meeting, which upheld the ruling. Following that, the Speaker stated it was his intent to no longer allow Representative Zephyr to speak moving forward.

so about 100 people showed up at the house of representatives with a 3,600-signature petition demanding speaker regier let zooey speak. those protestors were met with police in riot gear, and at least ten of the 100 protestors were arrested. i know these numbers sound pretty small, but in a state with about a million residents in total this is a huge deal. the fact that this is making national headlines is a huge deal, too, and i hope that continues because the community that elected representative zephyr is vibrant, giving, and most importantly queer as hell. i’m proud to be a part of that community, and we deserve to have the woman we chose to represent us heard

the protestors who were arrested are currently being held at lewis & clark county jail, and you can donate to their verified bail fund here. please spread the word and give what you can! they’ve reached their funding goal, but this fight isn’t over yet
